    can't open .pps attachments in e-mail

    I get a message everytime I try and open a .pps attachment when I receive
    e-mail. I have to go to the control panel, etc etc.. I have done all of that
    it still does not work. Then I saved it when out and viewed it and could see
    it. I do I correct this so as not to have to keep doing the save, etc to
    view. I just started having this problem in the last few weeks. It ALWAYS
    worked before. I am not real savy moving around on the computer so please be
    simple with you responses.

    Need help....Thank You

    Hello Blue,

    You might see if this may be able to help you fix this.

    Unable to open .PPS attachments directly from Windows Mail in Windows Vista

    Hope this helps,
    Shawn

    As there is a known problem with attachments:

    1.) Do you have IE8 installed?

    2.) Can you open attachments of other file types, especiallly JPG an
    TXT?

    3.) What does the error message say exactly?
